> 3 dayWe love this! My family all takes turns playing Forza horizon 3 on the Xbox one X and it is amazing with the adjustability for a kid 8 years old to a 59 year old man thats 65 220 lbs the racing seat is a real seat it slides forward and reclines just like a regular vehicle and is super comfortable I use the Logitech g920 wheel and pedals with the Logitech shifter and when we are done I just adjust the knobs and push the pedals all the way in and slide it over out of the way. Never new how much fun and real it feels like until you try it!

Greater than one weekI am new to the sim world and what sold me on this chassis was customer service. I call their hotline and told them the sim gear that I was purchasing (flight sim) and they set me up with everything I needed to be 100% happy with the results! They even made a custom part to fit my needs perfectly! If all companies treated their customers like this the world would be amazing! 1 month update: I have been using it almost everyday and still Im amazed at the fit, finish, and quality of the setup.... I could not ask for anything better. No matter what your size, this chassis Is infinitely adjustable to make it perfect for you. There are setups out there that cost twice OR MORE what this one was and there is no way they could be that much better. Highly recommend giving these guys a call..... you will not be disappointed! Thank you!

> 3 dayI love everything about it, it sturdy as hell, easy to move around, and adjust. If you have trouble squaring to the ground maybe get the lift brackets they sell.

> 3 dayAmazing sim racing seat!!! Extremely well built and sturdy (see attached pictures). PARTS & ASSEMBLY: All parts came in a well-organized and packaged box with Styrofoam and bubble wrap. All tools (13 & 17 mm wrenches and two hex wrenches) to assemble are included in a nice zippered fabric bag, nuts and bolts come in individually labeled zip lock bags. Assembly manual is in full color and includes parts list and detailed instructions. Includes additional bolts and washers to attach your own wheel and pedals (Im using the t300rs). Main chrome tube angles upward to provide support to the pedal plate, had NO issue with pedal plate flexing. Different sized knobs are used to secure lower main and upright tubes. Took me about 15 minutes to assemble the unit and another 15 minutes to adjust all tubes and zip tie (included) all the cables. USE: Have used seat for a week and it is very comfortable, especially on endurance races. Lower and upper side bolsters could be tighter (Im 510” and 180 lbs), but I still feel secure in the seat. I like the fact you can adjust the recline of the seat from upright, GT racing, to reclined for F1 racing. Had very little flex in the upright wheel post and adjustment options in/out, up/down, tilt make getting the best/comfortable driving position easy. (Just added Thrustmaster HOTAS, had to get another shift mount, see photos). STORAGE: I remove the main tube (w/ pedal and wheel tube) from the seat base. I fold the seat flat then lean it upright against the wall in a closet. I then prop the pedal and wheel assembly next to it. Takes less than 5 minutes to put-away and assemble for next round of racing. Highly recommend this rig for its solid construction, care in packaging, quality material, finish, adjustment options, ability to recline and comfort. Hats off to OW for a stellar product!!!

24-11-2024First off, I’m not a reviewer. I generally don’t have the time to write them and I prefer to leave it to the professional reviewers. However with our current “shelter at home” life style, I find I have the time to share my thoughts on this cockpit setup from Openwheeler. I had done a fair amount of research into stand-alone cockpit configurations to use for my flight sims. I mostly fly in VR and use Thrustmaster Warthog joystick and throttle. My flights can last for a couple of hours, so a comfortable seat was a high priority. In addition, sturdy mounting surfaces for my controllers was also critical. Of course price always enters into the process and while I don’t mind spending the money for good quality, I don’t need to toss $$ at something that does not provide any actual additional benefit. My criteria eventually brought me to Openwheeler and their lineup of racing and flight sim cockpits. I decided to pull the trigger on the Gen 2 cockpit and also ordered the seat height extender and the mounts for a set of flight sim joystick and throttle. I was initially concerned about how the contents would look once shipped. Anytime you order heavy items, it can be a nightmare if the packing is not done correctly. My worries were completely eliminated once I received my order. Everything was well packed and all the metal plates were separated from one another. Everything was in excellent condition and nothing was scratched or dented. A quick review of the contents did reveal that I was missing a couple of components that I was expecting. I contacted Openwheeler and received a reply the same day. As it turns out, the online ordering can be a little confusing when ordering the add on joystick and throttle plates. I had inadvertently ordered plates that were not for my specific system. The folks at Openwheeler acknowledged the issue and stated that they are working on clarifying the product options with Amazon. Not only did they immediately ship the correct items to me via 2 day air, but also tossed in some additional items for my trouble. I can tell you that after shopping through Amazon for many years, you do not often find the type of customer service that I received from this manufacturer. Not only are all the parts clearly marked and organized, but they also include the tools you need to do the assembly. Once I had all the items, the assembly went together very well and the provided instruction were more than adequate. I have read some comments about quality control and bolt holes not aligning correctly. First, I found the quality of the components to be more than acceptable. Secondly, I suspect that some of the issues with bolt alignment may be an issue of how these units are being assembled. Anytime you are bolting together components for any type of assembly, it is critical to make sure you are getting all the fasteners started before tightening anything down. For example, if you are attaching the seat to the frame and insert and tighten the bolt on one side, it will be difficult to get the other side aligned. This is not a reflection of poor quality control. It is possible to find products with tighter tolerances, however you will also pay 2 to 3 times the price for that level of precision. Following this assembly approach, I had no issues with getting this put together. In fact, I was more than pleased with how additional knobs and set screws are used at all the adjustment points. Once everything is tightened down, it is a strong and rigid assembly. I would not hesitate to recommend this to any of my flight some friends. They are also working on some new options that will drastically change the mounting options for the joystick. Can’t wait to give that a try. I don’t want to sound as if I’m a paid reviewer and I have been searching my mind for some negatives. Other than the confusion with ordering options on the Amazon page, I really don’t have any complaints yet. I will revisit this review after I have had more time using this setup. I will be curious to see how long the seat holds up and stays comfortable.

> 3 dayI purchased this sim pit around 4 months ago for flight sim and have been extremely happy with my purchase. It was easy to assemble and the materials all feel high quality. The flexibility of the pit is really nice, and I was able to get everything adjusted to fit me comfortably. It would be nice to have a more flight sim focused seat with a cutout for the stick and without the wings on the back, but thats really the only criticism I could come up with and it really doesnt get in my way the majority of the time. By far the best part of this purchase, however, has been the excellent customer support from Team HomeRacer post purchase. When I switched some of the hardware in my rig and needed a different mounting option, they were able to work with me and create a listing just for me that had the parts I needed without me having to buy extra parts I didnt need. Their responses have been timely and professional, and every time I interact with them it makes my day. Ive seriously never had better customer service. I didnt even think this level of customer service existed in 2022. Cant recommend them enough, you wont regret your purchase.

> 3 dayThis seat is awesome. It does everything you needed to do mounts everything including joystick and throttle if you want to play flight games. Is comfortable adjustable and fits every manufacturer . Plus you cant go wrong with the price. There a lot of more expensive seats out there quite frankly I dont think there worth it. The seat is phenomenal. But I have to say one more thing. Im 36 years old and quite frankly I cant remember the last time I have got such great customer service. I called for some basic help and I ended up getting A lot more than I even called for. The best customer service, I can remember every having. Its like back in the day, small businesses That actually cares for the customer . Trust me high quality professional seat builder /fabricator . If you may have read and some of the Question and answers on Amazon it will verify everything Im saying. If you have any problem dont hesitate to call the company, they will help you. Theyre willing to send out beta test stuff which I ended up getting for my joystick and throttle, plates for mounting plus Extra metal mounting bars so you could quick release between flying and driving. The one thing I would recommend Is purchased a 5 inch spacers to lift the seat up off the base when you buy the seat is worth the extra $40. If you have a whole monitor set up well maybe you dont have to worry about that but if youre playing like me with your TV Elevated. It is a must have! I You want the five inch lift spacers To have a great angle at your TV. . And one more time I cannot say it enough About the customer service, I have been a real pain in the butt to the company LOL. But theyre so kind so caring They will help you out with whatever you need if theres anything wrong they will take care of it for you all you have to do is give a phone call. I cant think of any other company right now that sells products that does what this company does! When it comes to customer service and taking care of any of your problems . And when I say problems I dont mean theres something wrong with the seat Its perfect. But if you need something else say a set of joystick plates to mount your joysticks and All you have to do is call and ask and they will take care of it even if they have to fabricate you mounts from scratch its amazing. If you fly flight games simulations Or use it for anything else that doesnt come with it I promise you this company is phenomenal they will take care of you!!! Best purchase Ive made in a very long time! Best $400 Ive ever spent. There is nothing like purchasing a product having phenomenal customer service in case you need anything else or there are any issues. I will upload a few pictures. Dont hesitate buy this seat! Sorry my pictures Arent a little better lol My room isnt as clean as it should be. If anybody has any questions feel free to ask. If you factor in the quality of the seat all the available hookups for your gear, and the most incredible customer service ever you cannot go wrong ! Sincerely, Nick

> 3 dayThis is of the greatest quality hands down, great instructions and even comes with wrenches to assemble it. When I ordered this seat and some accessories I accidently used the wrong payment as I meant to put it on a credit card. The seller was fantastic in helping cancel what I could to get the money refunded back to my bank account and then rebilling it under my credit card. I havent had that great of customer service in awhile. Everything about the seat is high end and they took no corners in designing it, even the assemble instructions come in nice thick colored paper! If you are on the fence about ordering this dont be, you will be impressed when you get it. I use it with my VR for racing games and flight games and works great with the immersion.
